Chapter 494: The Cage of Benevolence and Righteousness

Late at night.

cough cough cough ......

A violent coughing sound echoed in the empty and lonely room, and the strong smell of herbs permeated the old man on the sickbed.

"Father~~"

With a sad wail, the two brothers, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, looked at the blood coughed up from the corner of their father's mouth, and thought of the impermanence of Xuzhou City outside.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Tao Qian covered the corners of his mouth, and finally stopped coughing, and opened the white silk with trembling, and the black and red blood was shocking.

Call......

Like a bellows-like ho-ho, Tao Qian gasped hard.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! ”

The skinny hand gently patted the palm of the pottery merchant and Tao Ying, Tao Qian had already understood his body, when people died, the fame and fortune of the past would not be so important, and the only thing that was not at ease was his son.

"Father~~ You have to take care of your health...... The people of Xuzhou City can't live without your ......"

The potter's eyes glistened with tears, and he sobbed his nose.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Father...... Not anymore! Tao Qian's face was flushed, his big cloudy eyes stared at the roof in a daze, and the spider actually entered the eyelids, shining brightly, it was a return to the light.

"Come, lift up the father!"

Tao Qian was silent for a long time, and suddenly came to his senses, with a pillow behind him, he was just half-lying, leaning on it, and speaking was also spiritual.

"Shang'er, Ying'er, your brother is pure filial piety, kind, and should be happy for his father, but in this troubled world, good people can't live long, once your father dies, only you can't let go of your brother's ......"

"The child is incompetent, and the father suffers!" The potter wept.

Alas!

Tao Qian shook his head and continued: "Xuzhou City is ready to move, and there is Cao Cao's army besieging outside the city, the two Ru brothers have pure temperament, they are not the opponents of those old foxes, if you want to protect the Tao family, only at this time, you have to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei!" ”

Liu Bei?

The brothers glanced at each other, a little resentful in their hearts, although they knew that their talents were not enough to protect Xuzhou in troubled times, but they were still more or less uncomfortable when they looked at their own foundation to outsiders.

"Idiot...... Blessed is it not to hear that the ignorant are blessed? Remember, brothers, that after the death of your father, everything is simple and then ...... The two of you brothers are confined to the door, and they are not allowed to participate in Xuzhou politics for three years for their fathers! ”

"This ......"

Tao Ying hesitated, the front is easy to say, but the back is ...... He also wants to make a name for himself right away......

"Hear me! Otherwise, it will be difficult to sleep and eat under the nine springs of the father, and the spirit of heaven will not be able to rest in peace! ”

Tao Qian's voice was urgent, and his withered face was a little distorted, so frightened that the two brothers swore to the sky again and again.

"Alas...... The wind and clouds will meet, the dragon travels all over the world, the world of this Han is no longer the world of the Han Dynasty...... You brothers understand the painstaking work of being a father......

Now that the real dragon has not been revealed, our Tao family can't make tasteless sacrifices, remember! Alive! Only by surviving to the end can our Tao family continue to stand above the world! ”

Tao Qian's old face flashed with wisdom, he has planned for the world and Xuzhou all his life, and he has never killed the people or provoked a war, this is prestige.

In the future, once the world is decided, the Tao family will have the prestige of Tao Qian when he was alive, and he will still be at the forefront of the family after all.

This is like Yan Hui's Yan family, Xunzi's Xun family, no matter what dynasty their family is, whether they are officials or not, as long as they are born, they are a famous family in Shilin, this is the glory of their ancestors.

If Ning Rong was here, he would definitely admire Tao Qian, this old man had watched and listened to it all his life, and in the end he still realized it.

Why did the Yingchuan Xun family never pay homage to the prime minister, but their status in the Han Dynasty is obvious to all, the changes after the Yellow Turban Rebellion did not affect their family, it is foreseeable that as long as Xun Yu and Xun Yu are alive, the Xun family will not be destroyed.

There is also the Yan family who doesn't know where to hide, and hundreds of years later, when the Sui and Tang dynasties came, the Yan family was still the leader in Confucianism, the bull ear in Shilin, and Yan Tuizhi was a generation of Wenzong, and even Li Er was a disciple of it.

Power! Although it can make the family prominent for a while, it is a blessing and a blessing to rely on, and a blessing and misfortune to rely on, and in the end it is still empty.

"Father, rest assured, children must remember their father's words and write them into the family motto for future generations to follow!"

"Good! Good! ”

"It's just that Liu Bei is benevolent and righteous...... But...... When the child asked for help from Gongsun Zhan, this person also ......" The potter hesitated for a moment and wondered.

"Silence!"

Tao Qian scolded sharply when he heard this, glanced at the confused Tao Ying, and explained.

"Don't talk nonsense! Since Liu Xuande is benevolent, righteous and moral, he is naturally the best candidate to succeed Xuzhou City...... Ahem......" Tao Qian said a little hurriedly, and took a few breaths before he eased up, "Fame is a double-edged sword!" While bringing prestige to people, it will naturally restrain their behavior! Got it? ”

Tao Qian frowned deeply, Tao Shang and Tao Ying looked at their hard-working father, but they understood that Liu Bei prided himself on benevolence, righteousness and morality, if he accepted Tao Qian's gift to Xuzhou, their brothers would be able to live.

"The child understands!"

Tao Qian smiled lovingly.

"Shang'er, you go and invite Liu Xuande! Remember, you have to give a gift to your nephew! ”

"Yes! Father! ”

The potter took the order, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the West Cross Courtyard, although the cold winter had just passed, and his forehead was covered with sweat because of his impatience.

"Uncle...... Whining...... Uncle ......"

The potter pushed the door in, fell to his knees with a pop, Liu Bei, who was talking to Guan Yu, was startled, and looked down, only to see that the person who came was haggard, and the tears of the big bucket kept falling.

"This ...... Ah! What is the virtuous nephew doing, hurry up, if you have something to say...... "Liu Bei was a little confused, and glanced at Guan Yu, still confused.

The potter got up with Liu Bei's support, and forcibly stopped his crying.

"Uncle Liu, I'...... Father...... Father, he's dying......"

The intermittent words were like a thunderclap, which instantly split Liu Bei.

Belch!

That's not going to work?

What about my Xuzhou? Didn't you say that you should let Xuzhou show your benevolence and morality!

"Nephew, when did this happen?" Liu Bei came back to his senses and hurriedly asked.

Looking at Liu Bei's anxious and remorseful face, the potter's heart tingled, but he forcibly pressed it down.

"Just now! Father...... I would like to invite you to come and see you for the last time! ”

"Huh? So what are you waiting for! Fast! ”

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, blurted out, and when the words came to his mouth, he felt his gaffe, and instantly changed his sad and melancholy face.

"Alas! Let's go! Tao made Jun benevolent, righteous and moral, generous and elegant, but he didn't expect to be forced to death by Cao thief! Could it be that there is no room for the loyal and virtuous ministers of the Han Dynasty in this world! Alas! ”

The voice of grief and indignation in pain made the potter's heart ache, Liu Bei, who was full of benevolence and righteousness, was still like this, Xuzhou could not die!
